You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.’”

You must be able to tell the difference between what is“ clean” and what is not. You must also be able to tell the difference between living creatures that can be eaten and those that can’t.’ ”

You must distinguish between what is sacred and what is common, between what is ceremonially unclean and what is clean.

They will teach my people the difference between what is holy and what is common, what is ceremonially clean and unclean.

For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.

Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”

So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died.Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good.For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too.So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.Don’t tear apart the work of God over what you eat. Remember, all foods are acceptable, but it is wrong to eat something if it makes another person stumble.It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble.You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and God. Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right.But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.
